NORTH ISLAND & AUCKLAND TOURING

New Zealand may have wowed cinemagoers around the world as the real-life set of the otherwise mythical Middle Earth in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but there really is nothing quite like going beyond the silver screen and experiencing this majestic land for yourself.

Often the starting point for a New Zealand adventure, the North Island is more volcanic than the mountainous South Island, with spectacular untouched landscapes unfurling towards the horizon. New Zealand’s North Island is also more populous than the South Island, being home to the nation’s capital city of Wellington and its largest city of Auckland.

...

A lively city with an engaging urban atmosphere, Auckland represents the heart of New Zealand with excellent museums, vibrant social scene and picturesque harbour replete with the tools of New Zealand’s favourite hobby, sailing.

From here, heading further north will bring you to the scenic Bay of Islands, a natural harbour of coves, bays and islets across 16km of splendid coastline. Keep an eye out for dolphins as you grace Hole in the Rock towards Cape Brett, or perhaps embark on an idyllic overnight cruise for a truly unforgettable experience.

One of New Zealand’s more unique attractions, a visit to Rotorua is an opportunity to indulge in a spa destination like no other, the town’s thermal spas, geysers and mud pools proving a welcome detoxing diversion on any New Zealand North Island tour.

The largest lake in New Zealand, Lake Taupo offers a wonderfully tranquil stop, unless of you head towards the thunderous Huka Falls, which creates a remarkable spectacle as it cascades into the water below.

The ideal base for those looking to twin a New Zealand North Island tour with a New Zealand South Island tour, New Zealand’s capital city Wellington may not be as large as Auckland, but marks the bridging point between the two islands. Famous for its excellent restaurants and quirky culture, Wellington deserves attention in its own right.

A superb starting point from which to discover this magnificent country, a New Zealand North Island tour opens you up to magnificent scenery, remarkable destinations and a fascinating culture, one that will undoubtedly leave you wanting more…

For those who enjoy the company of like-minded travellers, an escorted tour is a great way to see all the major sights, or discover a path less well trodden. From the comfort of a larger air-conditioned coach, and with the help of an expert local guide you'll learn about your destination in a safe and fun environment. With many of your meals also included, you're free to sit back and enjoy your holiday without having to worry about a thing.

If you like the convenience of an escorted tour but want something a little more intimate, consider a small group tour. Travelling by 4WD or bus in a maximum group size of 16 (it's usually less), you'll enjoy a holiday that's filled with unique experiences. With the help of an expert local guide and/or driver, you'll learn all about your destination from someone who knows about it and is genuinely passionate about it.

Book a self-drive and enjoy the freedom of the open-road. You could stop-off for lunch at that charming little village, pause for hours and take-in an amazing view, or go off the beaten track and discover somewhere that few other travellers have had the joy of seeing. Book one of our carefully planned self-drives that includes your accommodation and you'll make the most of your time away, and make great savings too.
